My migraines continue, though most days I'm perfectly fine. Most days. Not today, but most days. Sucks to be me today. On the plus side, my doctor has had me taking high blood pressure medication as a preventative... so hopefully my naturally-high blood pressure has been coming back into the "normal" range. I keep meaning to stop by the machines at Wal-Mart or Kroger and find out, but never remember when I'm at either location.
One week till my birthday (and Cassandra's by default). And by some odd luck, our tax return money should be hitting around the 12th... just in time for me to run out and buy my birthday present... Mass Effect 2 (for the Xbox 360)! I'm excited to get it. Just replayed the first one so I'd have a save game from recent memory to import over. Eric already got the game and has been making me jealous by telling me things about it (I don't think he's purposefully making me jealous... but that doesn't help). MUST HAVE GAME!!!!
We also went ahead and told Gamefly we wanted to keep Dragon Age: Origins... good thing too, because I'd had it since before Thanksgiving! I got the codes that come with retail purchases as well, so I have the special armor available in that game and Mass Effect 2 as well as the free DLC for Dragon Age. Yay!!!
Playing so much Mass Effect has gotten me wanting to write up the setting for the Savage Worlds RPG. Why Savage Worlds? No idea, really, but I keep wanting to do it SPECIFICALLY for SW, so I think there must be a reason (seriously, I've considered GURPS, Alternity, HERO, Trinity/Aeon, etc. and nothing else appeals to me).Maybe I should post some thoughts on the blog as I actually work on it. I'll think about it.
I've also been wanting to play a game of Trail of Cthulhu (powered by GUMSHOE). I'm going to be writing my first adventure for it soon... I'm just still trying to figure out how many scenes I want, and consider a line of clues to use to help the players reach the climax. I really like the ideas behind GUMSHOE, and I think it can create an awesome game. I still want to read "Fear Itself" and "The Essoterrorists" to see some other points of view on GUMSHOE. Add to that list "Realms of Cthulhu" and "Hellfrost" for Savage Worlds... they look like great campaigns!
(y'know, there's too much RPG-goodness out there... I'd need three of me to read EVERYTHING I want to check out, much less run the games.)
That's enough for right now. Talk to you all next year (ok, hopefully not, right?)
End of Demented Rambling.
